The final weekend of the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) regular season is fast approaching, marking a significant shift in the landscape of America’s favorite pastime. For the first time in nearly three decades, some of baseball’s most storied franchises – Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals will not be partaking in the playoffs.

Among those seizing this opportunity are Tampa Bay Rays who have shown remarkable resilience and tenacity throughout the season. They’ve proven that they’re more than capable of holding their own against traditional powerhouses and are certainly one team to watch out for during playoffs.
Meanwhile Baltimore Orioles’ stock seems to be trending downwards after what can only be described as a disappointing season by any standard. Despite showing promise at various points during games, consistency eluded them leading to sub-par performances overall.
New York Mets find themselves somewhere between these two extremes; neither excelling nor faltering significantly enough to tilt scales either way just yet.
Then we come across San Diego Padres whose performance was akin to watching a roller coaster ride! The highs were exhilarating but unfortunately short-lived due largely inconsistent gameplay which saw them lose momentum when it mattered most resulting lackluster results overall despite having talented players within ranks ready take charge if needed
